Dr Dawn Darlaston-Jones began her university life as a mature student after having spent 20 years in the business sector. As an undergraduate student, Dawn was introduced to Community and Critical Psychology and this interest led to a PhD exploring the undergraduate experience of psychology students and the factors that affect retention. Before taking up her current role at Notre Dame, she taught in the School of Psychology at Edith Cowan University. Dawn's research interests lie in the areas of social justice and critical psychology with particular emphasis on resistance and emancipation, cultural issues, and education. She is particularly interested in the role of education in creating and building communities based on mutual respect and understanding.
